That is correct. However, script embedding is generally done with the
<script> element, not <embed>; it is this usage we're discussing.
(It is a bit of a wart that script linking is also done with the
<script> element, but the proposed <link rel="script"> - preferable in
my view - somehow never caught on with the browser manufacturers.)
